WWE Superstars spend the vast majority of their time in the company on the road, which means that they become good friends with their co-workers. Over the years, several stars have even been able to create a bond with Vince McMahon that allows them to get away with pranking the WWE Chairman himself.
Whilst Vince McMahon has become well-known for some of the pranks that he has played on his employees throughout his time as Chairman, there have been a few WWE stars who were brave enough to play a joke on their boss as well.
Even though Vince McMahon comes across as a very professional man, it appears that he doesn't mind the odd joke, as the following list of WWE stars found out.
#5 The Nasty Boys and The British Bulldog filled Vince McMahon's coat with shaving foam
Pranks were a regular occurrence in WWE back in the day and The Nasty Boys were well-known prankers, so it comes as no surprise that even the WWE Chairman was unable to escape one of their practical jokes back in the early 90s.
The Undertaker spoke to Barstool Sports earlier this year and The Deadman revealed that The Nasty Boys once teamed with The British Bulldog to pull off a prank on both Vince McMahon and J.J Dillon:
"Back in the day, in the early 90s, when I got there, we really only got a 3-4 day break around Christmas time. We might get 5 or 6 days, and it usually meant we left on Christmas Day to go work somewhere. So, that last show before our break, you never took your eyes off any of your gear, you locked everything up. I remember we did a TV taping, Vince was there, JJ Dillon was the Head of Talent Relations at the time. The Nasty Boys and The British Bulldog, they filled... they took Vince's coat, filled it full of shaving cream. They took... I want to say it was JJ Dillon's briefcase, they tied it up on the top of the ceiling, so you couldn't... I mean, it was total mayhem."
The Deadman didn't reveal what Vince McMahon's reaction was, but it's likely that he wasn't happy when he found his jacket and it was full of shaving foam.
#4 Triple H pranked Vince McMahon on WWE TV
There are not many WWE stars who have a relationship as close to Vince McMahon as Triple H. Given that Triple H is married to McMahon's daughter Stephanie, the two men spend a lot of time together outside of the ring as well.
This relationship means that Triple H can get away with things that many other stars would probably be fired for, as revealed by Rhyno on an episode of Talk is Jericho earlier this year.
“Hunter [Triple H] actually told me a story that he had one of the doctors crack one of those smelling salts. He goes [to the doctor], 'Vince wants it to look real on TV, so make sure you actually crack it in front of the camera and shove it in front of his nose. Don’t worry, he won’t sell it, right?' Sure as s***, he didn’t sell it. He no-sold it. Hunter told the referee as a rib on Vince.”
Vince McMahon was supposed to be sleeping during the segment and after it was over Triple H attempted to tell The Chairman that the doctor got nervous and pulled out a real one. Rhyno revealed that Vince McMahon didn't care, he had quite a sense of humor about the segment.
#3 Eric Bischoff played a mean prank on Vince McMahon back in 1995
Eric Bishoff once worked closely with Vince McMahon and recently revealed on his 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff podcast that there was a time when he even managed to prank The Chairman whilst they were in Las Vegas in 1995.
Bischoff recalled that he got to Las Vegas a few days before Vince McMahon and when his friend found out which hotel McMahon was staying in, they decided to cancel his room:
"We were out to dinner one night, and he goes, 'Hey, I just found out that Vince McMahon is staying at Treasure Island.' I said, 'really? How's you find that out?' He said, 'Oh I got some people I know from over there,' which didn't surprise me. He knew everybody everywhere. I said, 'wow that's really cool. We should swing by and say hi.' He goes, 'why don't we cancel his room?' I went, 'really? Can we pull that off?' I thought, wow, because we were there a few days ahead and I don't think Vince was there yet. When Zane told me he hadn't arrived yet, I thought man if we can cancel his room, there's no way he's gonna be able to get another one at the last minute because we're at the NATPE convention. It's like Mardi Gras in New Orleans. You may have a hotel you book a year in advance, but if you cancel that room and then show up day of hoping to get another one, good luck. You're gonna be staying out in Laughlin, Nevada."
Bishoff recalled that he managed to pull off the prank but interestingly he never heard about McMahon not being able to find a room for the convention. Instead, he noted that the WWE Chairman probably somehow found a room and had to spend a lot more money than he would have, but that was the joy of the prank.
At present, it is unknown as to whether or not Vince McMahon was aware of the prank before Bischoff decided to reveal it publicly.
#2 Vince McMahon attempted to prank The Undertaker but The Deadman reversed it
The Undertaker announced his retirement from WWE back in June after more than three decades at the top of the wrestling business. Vince McMahon and The Deadman had maintained a close relationship throughout his time in the company which was shown when The Chairman delivered an emotional speech as part of Taker's The Last Ride documentary.
Over the years, The Undertaker has been pranked by Vince McMahon several times and has even helped The Chairman to prank some of his fellow wrestlers. But back in 2002, it was The Undertaker's turn to be pranked.
The Undertaker was in the ring with Booker T and McMahon was determined to have him do The Spinaroonie, so much so that he kept sending WWE stars out to the ring to try to push Taker to do it.
In the end, Vince McMahon himself made his way to the ring and The WWE Chairman was forced to break character and deliver a spinaroonie himself, but The Deadman left the ring after hitting Triple H with a chokeslam and refused.
The Undertaker was somehow able to find a way to get out of the ring amidst the chaos and turn the prank around onto The Chairman himself.
#1 Bobby Heenan pulled off the dirtiest prank on Vince McMahon
Bobby Heenan was one of the smartest men in the business and was close enough to Vince McMahon that he became the victim of many of the chairman's pranks.
Jim Ross was also close to Heenan throughout his time in WWE and traveled with him and Gorilla Monsoon throughout the early 90s, so he was able to recall one of the best pranks that Vince McMahon has ever had pulled on him. Ross recalled the prank on an episode of Grilling JR earlier this year.
“Bobby always had a lot of fun with Vince. One of Bobby’s favorite things to do was, he got to TV early, to syndicated shows that were on location, on the road. Every building had a sign that said ‘Vince’s office.’ There would always be a line of talent during the day, literally like they’re lining up in the Army. A long line of people. Bobby would get there early, long before Vince and his entourage would arrive, and this was the days when toilets wouldn’t flush automatically. You had to manually flush the toilet. So he would go into the bathroom in Vince’s office, do his business, and not flush. And Vince’s reputation is being very clean – a germaphobe maybe – with all the things we’ve heard about the sneezing and not eating food with his hands."
Jim Ross, who now works for All Elite Wrestling, noted that he's unsure if Vince McMahon even knew that Heenan was pranking him since it was such a good prank that The Chairman may have thought that it could have been a coincidence.
